This article appeared in Female First magazine in the UK :  HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN PHOTO'S by Lucy Moore When I tell people about my book,  How to Look Good in Photos , the first reaction I hear is “I really want to know how to look good in photos, I’m going to read your book!” This is really exciting as it almost feels like I had to write my book to help body and face conscious people.

Your look is very important. Your collection of “selfies” that you share with others will start to give an overall message about who you are. Are you a book worm who loves crazy glasses? Or perhaps a party person who is always snapping himself (or herself) looking fabulous? Capture who you are. The important message I am getting across is you must have elements that are uniquely you and fun. Otherwise, your identity will get lost in the white fuzz. I get tired of seeing selfies of people showcasing their breakfast, drinking their twentieth cocktail, or walking their pet. I love seeing people share their passion for wearing vintage hats and scarfs. I enjoy selfies that proudly showcase the person’s amazing ability to create a Michelin Star dish. You already will have a unique style. I would add this to your selfies. It will give your online personally a more unique twist. Make your images count by making them unique to your individual style or lifestyle.” Check out my You tube...
